Why the fk would anyone want to be Collingwood?
Its easy to forget how narrowminded these turnips are.

I've heard "diet Collingwood". It's a weirdly insecure and narcissistic take. Trickle down Eddienomics.
If this saga has taught us anything, it’s that the average eastern seaboard punter completely missed the memo on the One Club merger.

Then you got people not knowing the difference between original (blue and white hoops) and traditional (Prison Bars).
Also wear that short lived pink jumper Ports. It’s got real history compared to a 120 year jumper you’ve won 30+ flags in.
Yeah good idea pal.
Wearing the pink jumper for heritage is like wearing nappies on your birthday.
Especially as an FU to those ''hur hur pink is a girls colour" weirdos.I'd be all for wearing a version of the pink guernsey in a heritage round, AFTER we've reached the self-determination stage in regards to the black and white prison bars.

"If you go back to the 18th century, little boys and little girls of the upper classes both wore pink and blue and other colors uniformly," said Valerie Steele, director of the Museum at FIT, the Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York.
In fact, pink was even considered to be a masculine color. In old catalogs and books, pink was the color for little boys, said Leatrice Eiseman, a color expert and executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.
"It was related to the mother color of red, which was ardent and passionate and more active, more aggressive. Even though you reduce the shade level, it was a color that was associated with boys," Eiseman said.
An article titled "Pink or Blue," published in the trade journal The Infants' Department in 1918, said that the generally accepted rule is pink for boys and blue for girls. "The reason is that pink being a decided and stronger color is more suitable for the boy," it said.
Nick Ryan talks about this in his column today.
Also this about why Eddie is so opposed to us wearing the PBs;
Not to mention the underlying homophobia attached to "why not wear your pink one, hey. nudge nudge. wink wink"

I grew up with Magpies, the reality for us is we are in the V(AFL) and its different than the past. I keep thinking how do we move forward and create the next Port Adelaide FC domination

Ummhh.I'm not sure if this joker is drawing a long bow or drew the short straw...
Port Adelaide, Collingwood have more in common than prison-bar guernseys | Scott Heinrich
Each club’s output suggests the focus should not be what jumpers the players wear but what they do once in themwww.theguardian.com
Ummhh.
What history of prison bars do Collingwood have?
Have I missed something?
Most of the directors who were appointed in 1995 were gone by December 2005. We used to have 5 board directors elected by members and 5 appointed by SANFL, nearly all were Port people submitted by the board to the SANFL for their approval. From the annual reports I have, covering pre John James and first year after he left.Send through photos of the memorabilia, would be fun to see all the damage that was done. I rang Richmond Football Club last week and they said welcome to the Tigers, I did not get offended as I was seeking some tickets for a game in Melbourne.
I thought the original board was still there until Duncanson took over, he alone must of went rogue and caused this crippling damage alone.
My fave is the accusation that we are ‘copying’ Collingwood, like it’s a school test and we’ve peeked over at their answer while they weren’t looking.
At first I thought it was intentional trolling for laughs but some of these people are dead serious. Like the bizarro Essendon fan from Perth going into bat for Collingwood’s brand supremacy. It’s seriously whacko.
An amazing guernsey. One that the AFL didn't let us wear in 2014 to celebrate the Champions of Australia 100th anniversary, yet later that year they let us wear the PBs in the final against Richmond.
